Title: Extracted Carbon: Re-examining Canada’s Contribution to Climate Change through Fossil Fuel Export
Description: This study re-examines Canada’s contribution to global climate change in light of the Paris Agreement by looking at extracted carbon - the total amount of fossil fuels removed from Canadian soil that ends up in the atmosphere -whether used for domestic purposes, or exported and combusted elsewhere. It concludes that “Plans to further grow Canada’s exports of fossil fuels are thus contradictory to the spirit and intentions of the Paris Agreement. Growing our exports could only happen if some other producing countries agreed to keep their fossil fuel reserves in the ground. The problem with new fossil fuel infrastructure projects, like Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants and bitumen pipelines, is that they lock us in to a high-emissions trajectory for several decades to come, giving up on the 1.5 to 2°C limits of Paris.” It follows that “Canadian climate policy must consider supply-side measures such as rejecting new fossil fuel infrastructure and new leases for exploration and drilling, increasing royalties, and eliminating fossil fuel subsidies.” This paper updates and expands a 2011 Climate Justice Project publication, Peddling GHGs: What is the Carbon Footprint of Canada’s Fossil Fuel Exports?, co-authored with Amanda Card.

Title: Global Anthropogenic Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions: 1990 - 2030
Description: EPA 430-R-12-006 This report provides information on historical and projected estimates of emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases from anthropogenic sources. It includes over 20 individual source categories from the energy, industrial processes, agriculture, and waste sectors. It covers 92 countries, historical information from 1990 to 2005 and business-as-usual projections from 2010 to 2030. This document is a revision of a draft document published to the EPA website in August 2011.

Title: 2011-2014 GHGRP Industrial Profiles: Petroleum and Natural Gas
Description: This report provides statistics for GHG emissions of petroleum and natural gas production, processing, transmission and distribution in 2014. These activities accounted 236 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). This is an increase of 3.5% compared to 2013 GHG emissions from this sector.

Title: GHGRP 2013 Overview of Reported Data
Description: The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, mandated by Congress, is unique in reporting facility-level data from industrial sources across the United States. It reports annually, but does NOT represent all GHG emissions from the U.S. economy.

Title: Effects of a Carbon Tax on the Economy and the Environment
Description: Reviews the existing literature on the economic impacts of a carbon tax, and explores three options for using the revenues from the tax: to reduce budget deficits, to decrease existing marginal tax rates, or to offset the costs to the most affected groups of people.

Title: Potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the construction sector
Description: Highlights difficulties in measuring GHG emissions within and across sectors. Section 3 presents information on GHG inventory protocols that are publicly available and frequently used, and examines the attributes of a protocol that would be useful for companies in the construction sector.

Title: Canada's Second Biennial Report on Climate Change
Description: This report presents projections of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada to the years 2020 and 2030, by sector. It also provides information on actions undertaken to address climate change,both federal and provincial, with live links to documents cited in the summary. Also includes information about climate-related support provided to developing countries. This report is submitted every 2 years to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Title: Canada's Emission Trends 2014
Description: "Under under a scenario that includes current measures and the contribution from LULUCF, absolute emissions are projected to be 727 Mt in 2020, 1.2% below 2005 levels. Emissions from the oil and gas and buildings sectors are expected to increase, while emissions in the electricity sector are projected to decrease between 2005 and 2020. Emissions in the transportation, emissions -intensive and trade-exposed, agriculture, and waste and other sectors remain close to 2005 levels." (LULUCF = Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry).
